It’s the fire tender in the Thames and the fly past by the police helicopter that really got me, what a waste of resources in a time of crisis.

The Queen doesn’t want any gun salutes to commemorate her Birthday as it would not be appropriate, I really respect that.

For somebody who has been criticised for being out of touch, Her Majesty is bang on the money for me, unlike the ridiculous Met Police.

The general public should be really holding these people in authority to account now with their attitude of “Do what we say, not what we do” instead of following what they say with blind (blinkered) obedience.

And you trust that? It is like Arthur Daley's negotiating - he'll offer a figure, see whether you accept it and then think of another.
The Chinese culture is to lie - do not expect otherwise. They will say it to your face but not blink an eyelid when you call them out on it.

I need to go down from York to Coventry in the next few weeks on private business, which does not involve meeting anyone. I can stay overnight in an empty house. Now this doesn't appear to fit anything on the list of permitted, or of forbidden journeys. So how likely am I to meet some jobsworth policeman who believes "That which is not allowed is forbidden".

"We often co-opt our prefrontal cortex to rationalise choices that were actually driven by our emotions"
“What am I not seeing?" ...“What else is true?” ... “What is my responsibility in this situation?”

Not really - I've got to check out my late brother's house before we turn the house clearer's loose on it. I suppose I could tell them I've got the urge to go jogging in one of Coventry's parks. That's clearly allowed.

If you aren't travelling to the coast, the Dales or some other tourist hotspot, you'll have no problems whatsoever. Life has to continue. I've been travelling around the Midlands and North West throughout the whole lockdown without ever once catching the eye of the local plod.
Admittedly, I've selected stealth mode by cycling some stupid distances to evade their desperate clutches, but I'd have caught the train anyway if they weren't infested by the sick

Italy’s death toll from the coronavirus outbreak in March and April could be nearly 19,000 higher than the official figure of 32,000, the national social security agency said. According to a new study by Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (INPS), Italy's largest social security and welfare

The English have been lying too by not reporting deaths on time, and covering up the numbers of recoveries.

Whilst there is quiet but growing voice that the Coronavirus lockdown was a mistaken instruction, the level of fear generated by that move is looking to gridlock the unlocking of the lockdown.
So this slow start to unlock could last far longer than any of us ever have imagined.

Ok, unfortunates on zero hours contracts and the unempolyed have very little chance of work in the forseeable future, young people at schools / Colleges / Universities are no longer receiving an education and hence being kept busy, lots are required to quarantine in an unregulated way...
